Robinhood Markets Inc. added to its summer rally on 11 Aug, closing at another record that lifted the retail-trading platform’s market value past the US$100 billion threshold for the first time. The advance comes ahead of a 9 September product event at which the company has said it will unveil additional features, and as it prepares to launch a banking service before the end of the quarter. Market participants say the new offerings, along with a second annual HOOD Summit scheduled for 9–10 September in Las Vegas—where Cboe Global Markets will be a presenting sponsor—are fuelling optimism that Robinhood can widen its customer base and boost fee income. The stock’s latest leg higher extends a year-to-date surge that analysts say could qualify the company for future inclusion in the S&P 500 once other eligibility criteria are met.
